Two Months Old!!!

Riley is 2 months old now!! We went to the Doctor this morning and he is 11 lbs. and 9 oz., and 24 1/2 inches long!!! Long and lean, and growing like a weed!! He also got 4 shots, and screamed the whole time!! Poor Baby! He's talking up a storm, and starting to bat at toys hanging in front of him. Mom got a haircut last week (to avoid the slobbery mouth and grabby fingers!!) He's still sleeping between 6 and 8 hours at night, which is wonderful!! We are blessed to have such a well behaved baby!! He's also taking a bottle once or twice a day (as long as Mom is nowhere to be seen or heard!), but he still wants nothing to do with a pacifier!! Sometimes it will entertain him because he'll play with it, but never sucking on it! But he's taken a liking to his index finger knuckles. Here are some recent pictures, and we also added some to the Riley Smiling album, so take at look at it again too.

Riley and Mowgli - the Protector!!

Daddy leaves for California tomorrow morning on a 3 day trip for work. He's gonna miss Riley! Let's hope that Mommy doesn't get to lonely!! We updated the Kodak Gallery Pictures on the right side with pictures from visits with the grandparents and Riley smiling (and a few of him crying!) If you're having trouble opening them try right clicking and select open, sometimes that works better than just clicking it. Enjoy the pictures. Riley has his 2-month check up next week, so we will know exactly how much he has grown!! And he will get some shots!! ;(

Well, Riley keeps getting bigger and bigger!! Here are some pictures to compare to show everyone how big he's getting. The first one was taken this morning (overall straps fully extended), the other two in the same outfit (straps tightened as far as they would go) on the day we brought him home from the hospital.


Last night was a treat!! Riley slept from about 9:30 to almost 6 am without waking up!! Let's hope this is a new trend!! His feeding has also slowed down in the mornings to around every two hours, but he's still eating almost every hour in the evenings. Mommy bought a Swing today, so that she can have a little time to herself during the day. With Riley sleeping more at night, he isn't napping much during the day, so the swing is nice to give them each some much needed alone time!! We have made arrangements to visit Indy the last weekend in August for "Uncle Tim's" wedding. We hope to visit as many people as possible (because we know how much everyone wants to meet this little man), but it will be a short visit, so we apologize for anyone that we miss!!

Here's some pictures of Riley smiling - well the closest that Mom could get!! Mom went to the Dr. this week for her checkup, and the nurses couldn't believe how long and skinny he was!! And that seems to be how he's growing - up not out!! It's crazy to think that he's 6 weeks old already! He is also getting really good at holding his head up. He can hold it up on his own if he's sitting up, and if he's on his belly he will pick it up and turn it side to side, and to "kiss the floor". He looks like a little woodpecker sometimes - bouncing his head up and down kissing the floor!! We are going to Rocky Mountain National Park again tomorrow - Daddy wants to ride his bike up Trail Ridge Road.

First Smile!!!

Riley Smiled for the first time yesterday!! We were playing and I got two smiles out of him, but we haven't seen it since, so no pictures yet. He's growing like a weed - and he should be for as much as he's eating (still every hour). He had a lot of fun at the cabin with Grandma Wilson, and was happy to see his other grandparents and relatives too. Just a few more family members to meet!! Hopefully we will be able to make a trip home with Daddy in August to see everyone!!

Grandma Wilson

Grandma Wilson is visiting this week from Indy!! We have had fun hanging out at the cabin with her!! Here's some pictures of her with Riley!!
